RAI SENGUPTA - gender-transformative evaluation tools
This synthesis draws on evidence from 17 humanitarian evaluations across diverse crisis settings. It identifies key feminist evaluation innovations across four domains - design, methods, analysis, and ethics - illustrating how feminist principles can be embedded throughout the evaluation process. It also surfaces broader shifts required at policy, institutional, and practice levels to realise the transformative potential of feminist approaches in humanitarian contexts.
The toolkit translates these insights into applied guidance for evaluators and organisations. It provides step-by-step support across the full evaluation cycle, including planning, design, methods, analysis, ethics, and dissemination. Drawing on global feminist evaluation practice, humanitarian guidance, and gender evaluation standards, it includes adaptable tools, participatory and arts-based methods, guiding questions, and templates for field application.

UTTHAN - Research Report
Traversing the path with women farmers in their fields and in our reflections/writings, a stark observation was the sheer lack of localized and regional vocabulary and terminology to adequately capture and communicate the understanding of climate change and mitigation strategies, informed by the unique experiences and needs of small and marginal women farmers. This is what propelled our research - to examine how women farmers perceive, express, experience, and respond to climate variability across
Our Research Report centres the lived experiences, generational knowledge, and resilience strategies of small and marginal women farmers from the coastal (Bhavnagar) and hilly (Dahod & Panchmahal) regions i.e two contrasting agro-climatic zones of Gujarat. Through their voices, the study reveals exactly how climate change intersects with gender, land rights, labour burdens, and food security.

Organised by the Community of Evaluators South Asia in collaboration with the Sambodhi Capacity and Learning Institute, this 75-minute session brings together young and emerging evaluators, consulting practitioners, and ecosystem leaders to engage with some of the most pressing yet under-discussed questions shaping evaluation careers today.
We are especially delighted to have Dr. Louis Charpentier, Head of the Decentralized Evaluation Team at the UNFPA Independent Evaluation Office, joining us as the keynote speaker. His opening remarks will reflect on the professionalization of evaluation, strengthening evaluation systems, and what it takes for young evaluators to navigate opportunities and challenges in the field.
The panel discussion that follows will move beyond conventional conversations on skills and qualifications to engage with the realities of the profession — employability challenges, persistent skill gaps, and the growing precarity shaping early-career pathways. The speakers will also reflect on deeper structural questions around power, career sustainability, and the shared responsibility of institutions in building a stronger evaluation ecosystem.
👥 Panel Speakers:
- Dr. Phuntsho Choden (Bhutan)
- Rai Sengupta (India)
- Samsul Hussain Sadi (Bangladesh)
- Amil Epa (Sri Lanka)
- Alisha Dahal, MPH (Nepal)
🎙️ Moderated by:
Dr. Nidhi Prabha, Sambodhi Capacity and Learning Institute, India
If you are a student, early-career professional, researcher, evaluator, or part of the broader development and evaluation ecosystem, this session aims to offer a candid and practice-oriented perspective on navigating the “messy middle” of evaluation careers.
We warmly invite you to join the conversation.
